Massive Laois Operation Leads To Multiple Arrests In Connection With Stolen Vehicles

Thursday, 25 April 2024 18:18

10 suspects were identified in December.

Multiple people have been arrested in Laois in connection with stolen Japanese-imported vehicles.

The crackdown was carried out by the Detective Unit in Portlaoise.

The operation follows an extensive investigation which identified 10 suspects involved since December of last year.

Planned arrests over the past week led to a number of people being questioned in relation to suspected involvement.

Throughout the questioning, admissions were made concerning 47 different offences, including robbery, unlawful trading of motor vehicles, criminal damage, and theft/deception.

This was carried out in Garda stations in Laois, Offaly and Kildare.

Gardaí were then authorised to charge a number of individuals, following consultation with the National Juvenile Office.

They were brought before the Portlaoise District Court, where strict conditions were applied.

Gardaí say the operation represents a significant step in their ongoing efforts to address serious crimes associated with vehicle theft.
